Dr. Wendy Smith couldn't believe what she was
reading off of Captain Bridger.
Nathan's thoughts were black and dangerous.
Normally that wouldn't worry Wendy. If they were
facing a situation where the
boat, crew or especially Lucas was in trouble,
she would completely
understand.
The glowing red eyes and the bolts of lighting
from his fingertips was
something new.
She quietly moved over to Lucas trying avoid
attracting the captain's
attention. She put a hand on his shoulder try to
comfort him.
Lucas sat shaking in his seat. He couldn't
believe what was happening. The
firm rock that he had put all of his emotional
ties to had been smashed to
rubble before his eyes.
He wasn't the only one that was confused by what
was happening. The entire
bridge crew that had been on duty was trapped by
this thing that had taken
over their captain.
Commander Ford had not been on duty. They could
hear him and security trying
to gain access to the bridge. Jonathan had been
so desperate that he had
ordered Tony to go through the aquatubes to see
if he could get in through the
moonpool. Poor Tony was now in medbay being
treated for electrical burns.
When the captain had been distracted by Tony,
Lucas had sent off an emergency
message to a scientist friend of his that he
thought might be able to help.
*******
Dr. Egon Spengler had just sat for lunch down
when his message alarm rang on
his computer. Getting up to answer, he was
surprised to see a message from
Lucas Wolenczak. They had collaborated on a
couple of papers together. Most
recently the ghost ship incident had had them
working together to explain what
had happened. Egon had been disappointed not to
have been able to get there in
time. Lucas had promised to notify him the next
time something paranormal
happened.
"Gentlemen," Egon announced. "We have a case.
Suit up and I'll brief you in
the car."
"Janine, make arrangements with the UEO to get us
out to the seaQuest ASAP."
With a nod and a quick scribble on her notepad,
Janine went to make sure the
guys got on scene as quickly as possible.
At the mention of the UEO, Peter's head whipped
around. The lure of deep
pockets to pay their large fee always grabbed his
attention.
"Hey, Egon. What's up?" he asked.
"Later, Peter." was the only answer he got. Egon
was paging through Tobin's
Spirit Guide. Unfortunately, it couldn't be
loaded onto a computer because it
provided a gateway for some of the more powerful
demons. Someone had found
that out the hard way. Everyone knew not to do
that again.
Grumbling under his breathe, Peter pulled on his
jumpsuit.
Ray and Winston just suited up. They had all
spent enough time with Peter to
know that he loved to grumble.
******
Janine had efficiently gotten them there in five
hours. Everyone knew that
time was of the essence. The longer the
possession the harder it was to get
the demon. During the connections, Egon had
briefed them on the situation.
The guys met with Commander Ford outside the
sealed bridge hatch. Jonathan
stared at their proton-pack weapons a bit
nervously. If the GhostBusters
missed a shot and it hit the walls, things could
get very bad, very quickly.
Submarines and holes just didn't go together.
"It looks like a classic level five possession."
Egon announced to the stunned
commander.
"We will need to get on the bridge." Ray put in.
"Possession?" Jonathan asked with a skeptical
tone.
"Where are the chicks?" Peter interrupted. Peter
was always cruising for the
babes, especially the ones in uniform.
At that Loni jumped out and attacked Peter.
"Wow, you're soo cute." she cooed.
Not trying to peel out of her clinging grasp,
Peter said, "See you guys
later!" as he turned to leave.
"Just a minute," Egon interrupted. "We're here to
do a job."
"Later, babe," Peter said with the egotistical
knowledge that she would be
waiting for him.
Loni let go, but pouted off in the corner.
"Another one of your groupies?" Winston asked.
"Of course, who could resist the Venkman Charm?"
Peter asked with a smug note
to his voice.
Ray just shook his head. At this rate they would
never trap the demon.
Commander Ford and Dr Spengler went off to the
side to discuss access plans.
Impatient with the delay, hey he had a hot date
cooling her heels, Peter
went up to the door and started pounding on it.
"OH Mr. Demon, please let us in to play." he
called out in a sing song way.
Stunned shock held the people on both sides of
the hatch frozen.
The demon whipped around and pointed at the door.
It creaked open.
"Works every time," Peter assured the security
team with a wink.
"WHO HAS DARED TO CONFRONT ME!?!" the demon asked
through Captain Bridger's
mouth.
"Peter Venkmen, GhostBuster extraordinare at your
service." Peter walked onto
the bridge with a swagger in his walk.
**********
Peter stood calmly in the face of the demon's
wrath.
Ray and Winston had recovered their wits and
stood flanking Peter to support
him, but also to stay out of the way if something
went wrong. Which in Peter's
case was more often than not.
The bridge crew was in total shock. They had been
at the creature's mercy for
hours and here Peter stood ignoring the danger.
He was either incredibly brave
or incredibly stupid.
Lucas just buried his head in his hands and
prayed. Egon had told him about
some of the GhostBuster's more interesting
encounters and how Peter always
managed to stumble through them safely. Barely.
"Well, come on." Peter repeated, sounding
thoroughly bored.
"You shall die for your impertinence." growled
the demon through Bridger's
throat. Blood red eyes turned more red in anger,
if that was possible, as
Peter taunted the demon.
"Promises, promises. Can we get this over with so
I can go on my date?" asked
Peter.
The demon levitated Bridger a foot off the floor
and bolts of lightning shot
out of his fingers. Fingers pointed in Peter's
direction.
Peter was knocked off his feet and thrown against
the bulkhead in the hall
outside the bridge with a loud smacking sound and
then a wet plop as his slid
down the wall and collapsed in a heap slightly in
front of Egon.
Egon had been watching in dismay from the hallway
with Commander Ford. Shaking
his head, Egon said, "I told him one day his luck
would run out." He pushed
his glasses up on his nose and turned back to
Tobin's Spirit Guide. Egon was
still trying to identify the demon without any
luck.
With a squeal of dismay, Loni threw herself on
Peter's limp body and pulled
his head onto her lap. Stroking his hair, she
kept pleading with him to wake
up.
As Peter was being attacked, Ray and Winston had
locked sights on the
possessed Captain with their proton pack weapons.
The shrill whine of the
accelerators broke the stunned silence on the
bridge. "Five seconds," said Ray
to Winston.
"Okay" was the response. Both knew that a human
could only stand a short blast
from the proton packs before irreversible damage
was done. They had all agreed
that five seconds was the limit and only to be
used in extreme cases where
they had no alternative.
Lucas jumped up from his console, throwing off
Wendy's hand on his shoulder,
and placed himself between the GhostBusters and
his Captain. "Egon," he called
out desperately. "Tell them not to hurt the
Captain." If Peter was here that
meant that Egon had gotten his message and was
somewhere close by.
Egon broke away from the Commander and took up
position behind Ray and
Winston. Ray and Winston couldn't shoot with the
boy in the way. It looked
like a stand off. "Egon you've gotta help get
the Captain back." pleaded
Lucas. Unfortunately with his back to the demon,
Lucas did not see the look of
pure evil that the demon focused on him. It
almost looked hungry.
*Oh shit!* thought Wendy. To her the scene had
overtones that the others could
not see. A dark cloud had formed around the
Captain's head and was slowly
reaching out to envelope Lucas's shining white
aura from behind. "Lucas,
watch out!" she screamed.
Whirling around, Lucas saw the demon staring at
him. Trapped like a rabbit in
the malevolent gaze, Lucas couldn't move. Slowly,
he felt as if his life was
being drained from him. If it was possible, he
looked even more pale than he
normally did. He couldn't move but managed to
whimper, "Cap'n?" begging for a
reply.
For just a moment everyone saw a shudder wrack
the Captain's body,
"Lucas?" was the horrified answer. The spell had
been broken but so was Lucas.
Weakly, he fell to the floor. The Captain's eyes
cleared for just a moment.
"Run!" came the slightly stronger follow up. It
was a command that Lucas just
couldn't respond to. He was having trouble just
breathing. The effort was
making sweat break out over his whole body.
Another shudder raced through Bridger's body and
the red overtook his eyes
again.
With Lucas on the floor and not standing in the
way, Ray and Winston fired on
the Captain. A shriek came out of Bridger's mouth
that sounded like all of the
tortured souls of hell crying out. "One... Two...
Three... Four..." Ray was
counting under his breath. Just as he was going
to call off the attack,
slowly, a red haze separated itself from
Bridger's body and seemed to hover
above it. Redirecting their weapons, Ray and
Winston kept their fire trained
on the presence and not on Bridger. Bridger's
body seemed to fold in on itself
as he collapsed.
"Medteam to the bridge," called Wendy.
Fortunately, Jonathan had had one on
standby in the hallway. They had been trying to
work on Peter with no luck
because Loni was in the way.
Throwing out a trap, Egon opened it under the
demon trapped in the rays from
the GhostBuster's weapons. The bright light from
the trap seemed to engulf the
demon and drag it down into itself. With a snap
of the lid closing, Ray and
Winston disengaged their fire. A small rattle and
curl of smoke came out of
the trap, but it held as it was designed to.
As the Captain and Lucas were being taken off the
bridge to Medbay, everyone
passed Loni and Peter in the hall. A groan of
pain came from Peter as he
regained consciousness. "Did anybody get the
license of that truck?" he asked.
Going on he said, "It's in my contract. The
demons never shoot first." he
whined.
"Oh my poor baby," cooed Loni. "You were so brave
and heroic. I'll nurse you
back to health myself." she vowed.
With a smile Peter gave himself over to Loni's
ministration. Well things were
looking up. He had gotten the girl. It looked
like the fellas had taken out
the demon. And visions of credit vouchers were
dancing in his head from the
bill they would be sending to the U.E.O.
In Medbay both Nathan and Lucas had also regained
consciousness, with Wendy
fussing over them they felt like two little kids.
"R n R for both of you," she
prescribed. They smiled conspiratorially at each
other. It looked like they
were going to get to go on that fishing trip they
had been postponing for
months. The horror of the past day faded as they
made their plans. Everything
was back to normal it seemed.
Egon came in with Ray and Winston behind him.
Peter was in Loni's quarters
having the time of his life.
"Lucas, you know I would visit if you had asked.
You didn't need to have an
incident." Egon stated. "Oh, and by the way, my
offer to have you work for us
is still open."
"Maybe someday. I like it here right now. Stay a
couple of days and we can go
over some interesting problems I've been keeping
an eye on." offered Lucas.
"Nothing too strenuous." warned Wendy. "Light
duty only for the next couple of
days and then a week vacation for the two of
you."
"What happened this time?" Egon was curious to
know how Lucas had gotten
himself into supernatural trouble again.
"Somebody just had to play with the puzzle box I
told them not to touch." With
a very mature, superior look to him, Lucas
glanced over to Nathan and smiled.
A sheepish grin flashed on Nathan's face. "I was
just trying to get it open."
he protested.
"Just like you had to try on that Atlantian
helmet, right?" teased Lucas with
a twinkle in his eyes. *Oh, this was going to be
good to hold over the
Captain*
"Where's this box now?" asked Egon concerned.
*No, it couldn't be the same
box. It had been destroyed. Hadn't it?*
"On the bridge. I guess it got left behind in the
confusion." answered Wendy.
She had not liked the feel of the box since Lucas
had received it in the mail.
It just felt evil.
"Did you ever pin-point exactly which demon had
possession of the Captain?"
This question from Lucas troubled Egon.
"No, I didn't have enough time to analyzed the
demon before we trapped it. I
narrowed it down to a couple of dozen
possibilities, but we'll never know
now." Egon regretfully finished.
The Captain ordered a search of the bridge and
then the whole boat, but no one
could find the box.
A couple of days later.
Lucas and Nathan had recovered enough to actually
be allowed to go on that
fishing trip by Wendy.
Loni was finally persuaded to let Peter leave.
She was in tears as she said
goodbye to him at the shuttle.
As she ran out of the shuttle bay, Egon asked
Lucas, "Is she always like
this?"
"Loni is Loni." was all Lucas would say.
Shaking the hands of each GhostBuster in turn,
Nathan thanked them for their
assistance. When he got to Peter, he couldn't
resist. "Mr. Venkmann, the
U.E.O. is grateful for all the help you provided
us in this situation. On
their behalf I would like to tell you...
The check is in the mail."
Everyone groaned.
It would be nice to get back home and for life to
return to normal. Well as
normal as it could be for the GhostBusters and
the seaQuest.
